Just gotta brag about my kid. He's so smart and resilient. Just an excellent human, effortlessly funny. I am loving this age and stage he's at.

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

My oldest is off on his first big school trip. He's 10 hrs away & my wife is doing her best not to helicopter or be a smother. "One message per day" she said. She wants him to find independence. Meanwhile me: "How's it going? BTW, text your mom & tell her you love her."

My Kid: "Dad, what's bourgeoise?" My wife, rolling her eyes: "We don't have time for this kind of discussion at the supper table." Me: "Slang for being a fancy asshole. Made famous by a guy named Marx. He wrote a little book called-" Wife: "Here we go..."

Survey open now for headlight glare bullshit

Everything is staged. Including his assignation attempt.

Real wild to see NPR do a serious article version of a twitter thread of mine from five years ago (part of which i reposted here). (Seriously tho, i talk about this with every group of Philosophy in SFF students I get.)

Oh, Loblaws is fuckin' us again?

China is clearly the big winner so far. Given how Russia is holding/threatening Ukrainian nuclear plants, a decentralized web of solar "micro grids" sounds very attractive.

my hometown is one of the sunniest mfer's in the world. We have mostly scrubby, short trees because almost every single tree in my city was planted less than 100 years ago. We also have vast, sprawling, big-box parking lots that wrap the city like a donut, no skyscrapers to cast shadows.

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

Tests of intelligence and brain function were the same whether or not people drank fluoridated water growing up, a highly anticipated, long-term study finds.

Doctors urge Canadians to get HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer #Canada #HPVVaccine Get the vaccine if you are between the ages of 9 - 45, sadly I am too old to get it. I lost my aunt to Cervical Cancer, please get vaccinated. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

This phenomenon occurred with Justin Trudeau. When his blackface/Indianface scandal dropped, he apologized but couldn't remember how many times he did it. and then he went on to win two more elections. Cons couldn't do anything with it because they have no credibility on the issue of racism.

Evergreen:

What do you call a system where CEOs make millions of dollars while laying off thousands of workers?

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Gross.

Holding shitty men accountable is good for society.

IDIOCRACY WAS A DOCUMENTARY FUCK

Shout out to JD Vance for endorsing Orban who immediately took a big fat L in an electoral system that Orban had, up until now, dinked with to capture power for 16 years. Fuck you Vance, you absolute dork. You have no friends. You anti-charisma, micro-scrote of a pud.

Any person working 40 hours a week should be paid enough to afford a home, food and have enough left over to save for the future and cover necessities. Poverty wages are a form of extractive, economic violence.

I shaved my beard and now I am cold. I always make this mistake.

The same political & economic forces that prevent us from pivoting to renewables are about to get more plump selling oil. And our leadership will not use it for adaptation or innovation. They will spend like drunken sailors to appease the donor class.

The antivaxxer grift has mutated into a sovereignty convoy. It's all the same braindead losers. And Republicans are giving them cash.

Anything to avoid regulating the platform's owners.

Not to brag or anything but my youngest just emptied the dishwasher, sorted his laundry and ran both garbage and recycling out to the bins without being prompted.

me, magnanimously encouraging conservatives to take their nonsense back to Twitter:

Taxpayers get soaked yet again. The UCP has the regulatory tools to stop this but they do nothing because the shareholders demand it.

BREAKING WSJ: Trump has repeatedly promised his top administration officials pardons before he leaves office, according to people who have heard his comments. "I'll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval," Trump said in a recent meeting. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

One thing I think about a lot since our democracy has declined so hard, so fast. Why does it still kinda feel normal?

I am not that bothered by floor-crossers. They rarely win re-election. Their career is basically over. I'd rather see the voter age lowered to 16, some form of proportional representation, mandatory voter participation & a way to ensure a party w/ <50% of the vote doesn't get 100% of the power.

What the billionaire bunker class needs to learn to appreciate is that no one will serve and protect them in the bunker. They will be the first to get their asses kicked when society crumbles. Much of their wealth is imaginary numbers on a hard drive, a gentleman's agreement at best.

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign
